The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has alleged that the
police was making threats against guests who plan to attend the burial of the
parents of its leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu will on Friday, 14th February bury his parents, Eze
Israel Kanu and Lolo Sally Mmeme Kanu, both of whom died sometime last year.
Though there has been no news of Kanu attending the burial,
IPOB has raised the alarm over threats by the police through the state police
commissioner, CP Okon, against people who plan to attend the burial.
A release by Emma Powerful, the media and publicity
secretary of the group which was made available in Awka stated
that, “It is now crystal clear to the public that CP Okon supposedly in charge
of Abia Police Command in Umuahia, Abia state wants to use the name of our most
revered leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and indomitable IPOB worldwide to be noticed.
“Such despicable and downright condemnable utterance can
only obtain in Biafraland where socio-cultural and political leadership are in
the hands of unrepentant traitors.
“Will a commissioner of police make such a ridiculous
statement in the Sharia north. Not even during the burial ceremony of countless
murderous Fulani terrorists in the north did any police commissioner find it
worthy to warn mourners not to attend a funeral service.
“In the sad history of Nigeria, never has there been an
edict or warning issued against those mourning the passing of loved ones only
now in Abia State.”
IPOB further warned that should a shot be fired in Afaraukwu
community within the period of burial, it would make the masterminds regret
their actions, while adding that it would not be vowed into failing to attend
the burial of their leader’s parents.
“As our leader expressly pronounced during his radio address
on Saturday 8 February 2020, should any shot be fired in and around Afaraukwu
on Friday 14 February 2020, the family and children of CP Okon will be hunted
down and killed.
“If Buratai is involved his children will also pay the price
anywhere they are in the world. We say enough is enough!
“We shall as always peacefully attend the burial of His
Royal Majesty and his wife and should Nigerian army and police attempt to
breach the peace, the world will bear us witness.
“However it is important we inform the Fulani masters of
this Okon and those parading themselves as military officers in Afaraukwu
Umuahia to beware because they cannot stop IPOB from coming to the burial of
our leader’s parents on 14th of February, next week Friday. ”
